Document Summary

This document provides safe work procedures for using a router, with an emphasis on safety and proper handling. Pre-start checks involve inspecting the tool's casing, leads, plugs, and controls, ensuring all components, including guards and bits, are in good condition. Maintenance requires unplugging the tool, using the correct tools for replacing bits, and cleaning debris with brushes or compressed air while wearing appropriate PPE such as gloves and eye protection.

Operational safety guidelines emphasize directing debris away from the body, wearing eye and hearing protection, and using dust masks to prevent inhalation of harmful particles. Special precautions highlight the dangers of working with MDF due to toxic adhesives and the fire risks of fine wood dust. Storage instructions include using protective cases for tools and storing bits separately to avoid damage. Unauthorized entry into work areas is strictly prohibited, and only trained personnel may operate the router.
